<H2>center</H2>
<HR>
Center the layout window view on the cursor lower-left coordinate,
or the indicated coordinate if present.
<HR>

<H3>Usage:</H3>
   <BLOCKQUOTE>
      <B>center</B> [<I>x y</I>] <BR><BR>
      <BLOCKQUOTE>
         where <I>x y</I> is a coordinate in default magic units
      </BLOCKQUOTE>
   </BLOCKQUOTE>

<H3>Summary:</H3>
   <BLOCKQUOTE>
      Without arguments, the <B>center</B> command centers the layout
      window on the lower-left corner of the cursor box.  When values
      <I>x</I> and <I>y</I> are given, the view is centered on that
      coordinate.  Coordinate values must be in (integer) units of
      the <B>magic</B> internal grid.  This command is similar to
      the "<B>view</B> <I>llx lly urx ury</I>" command, which
      centers on a box instead of a point.
   </BLOCKQUOTE>

<H3>Implementation Notes:</H3>
   <BLOCKQUOTE>
      <B>center</B> is implemented as a magic built-in command.
   </BLOCKQUOTE>

<H3>Bugs:</H3>
   <BLOCKQUOTE>
      Coordinate values should be any acceptable value, including
      lambda, grid, and metric values, as they are for the <B>box</B>
      command.
